03 RC51 No power help..

tried to start the bike today, it cranked a few times, lights on everything is fine, then the crank slowed to a weak one...pulled out trusty battery tender, plugged it in, charged the battery to 10 volts where it is currently holding charge, connected everything back up..turned the key...NOTHING..not even lights came on...looked over all the fuses which were fine..no blows.. now directly connected battery tender with the battery and wiring harness attached...still no power...puzzled now...any hints on where else to look?

10 volts is the death knell for a 12 volt battery.............

Get you a new battery. If you already checked the fuses and connections then that is what it should be.

I agree. 10 volts would indicate you have a bad plate in your battery.
